Wreath Decorating Festival at Woodcock Nature Center

The 2011 Wreath Festival will run for eight nights with a Family Day on Saturday, December 3 and Saturday, December 10.   We will run Tuesday – Friday November 29 – December 9, with two sessions each night.

The Woodcock Nature Center Wreath Festival is a treasured tradition for hundreds of women each year. Groups of friends come from as far away as Rockland County, New Fairfield, and Yorktown Heights to kick off the holidays with a fun and creative evening.

What do you need to do? Gather a group of friends for 1+3/4 hours of decorating, preceded or followed by socializing in our warm and cozy pavilion. Relax in front of one of our two fireplaces! Refreshments and wine are not provided, but are welcome.

Using a wonderful array of natural dried flowers, grasses, nuts, fruits, berries and cones, you will leave with an incredible balsam fir holiday wreath. All materials are included in this Ladies-Night-Out event, the proceeds from which benefit the Woodcock Nature Center.

This year’s “Ladies Night” Wreath Festival Evenings will run for eight nights with two time slots each evening - 6:30-8:15 and 8:30-10:15. Registration is only available on line this year.
